Billy Jo Jim Bob

Hasn't these kind of records always been played on the Northern scene - and I would emphasise the 'Northern' element of this as traditionally it was a 'dancing' scene where the sound was more important than the ethnicity of the performer (s) ? Call it 'pop', 'sunshine pop' or 'blue eyed soul' it has to have that particular sound that "fits in" with expectations. In the late 70's some DJ's did take the mickey with some of the selections as the scene hit the mainstream media. Some 'white' tunes are more obvious than others, but there are some really soulful ones where you'd be hard pushed to know either way. I was surprised to find out a couple of years ago that the Enchanters on Tee Pee where white when a US collector said "not bad for a bunch of white boys" when we were discussing it. I didn't guess even though I've had it for years. Note to self - pay more attention

The one you posted is a 70's boot. The orig is a deep blue label with silver writing and a Castle motif on the design. The one you show is £3

So which version is King 6158 ? The Federal release or same as the King 6124 or 6202 ? Cheers

The first single on Avis exits in two different forms. Avis 1001) Back In My Arms / I Can’t Help But Love You (1969) On one of the issues 'I cant help but love you' is not the song on the vinyl. The actual song is a nice crossover thing which repeats the hook like 'I wont cry no more'. The other release with ICHBLY is the actual song which is more of a sixties northern sound. Probably some pressing plant mistake.

Think it was a Stafford thing. Mick Brown put me on to it and I got two copies for $6 each about 15 years ago and sold one to Cliff Steele and sold my copy on here about 12 months back. Flip side "life aint so bad " is the side for me.

Found this copy in the boxes recently. Jimmy Gresham & Gibson Kings - Nobody Knows (the trouble I see) - Kitty VG £25 The label has water damage and the vinyl has some scuffs and light scratches, but it plays above the grade. Normally a tough one and has gone for 3 figures. Scan attached PM with questions or queries Post £1.50 first, £2.50 recorded, World £5 air post approx. Cheers A

Hi Have a copy on the original Lamp label, later issued on Lu Lu and Chess without the full group name. Alison and Calvin Turner and the Fabulous Sound Masters - Yeah Memories / Shake what your mama gave you - Lamp VG+ £60 Label is nice with no stickers, writing or damage just a little worn and the vinyl has surface marks, some light scratches but no deep gouges, hops skips or jumps. Plays well above grade to my ears. Scan attached "Yeah" is a killer slowie which kicks off at the end and "Shake" is a funky effort with a "tighten Up" riff sampled. Youtube sample for info - not this copy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INrZqF7b3_k Postage UK First £1.50, Recorded £2.50 and Special at £7.25, Worldwide estimated air post £5 or other method at cost. PM me with any question etc Cheers

The PM version is the same as the UA release.

Was in Skippy White's back in Y2K. He's quite a character, and after some haggling we eventually got into the basement. Before we went in he said we had better not leave a mess but when we got in the place looked like a fecking bomb had hit it - records all over the place. However we did pull out lots of 45's with multiple copies...Ann Heywood on Hondo, Steve Mancha 'Friday Night', Barbara Middleton on TRC, DeVonns on King etc etc. all at $4 each. 25 count boxes all around the wall with various soul 45's. There were plenty of copies of Frank Lynch..Young Girl on MY Records as Skippy produced it.

Sent a 45 about 6 months ago by Airsure (tracked and traced) to LA area. It took 24 hours to get from UK to LA sorting and then took 5 days from there to the home address. About a couple of weeks later I sent another 45 to the same area but just by normal air post and it took nearly 1 month to deliver .......FFS !!!!

You and me both Spike ! I was there with the likes of Andy Cole, Bri Simpson, Paul Holland, Ant Moore, Jibber Yates plus a whole host of others. Remember Johnny Wright used to be a regular behind the decks also. Used to love Matlock Bath all dayers and yes the dance studio in Sheffield was the KGB I still live about 2 miles away from Inky Social and the building is still there but its now a builders merchants.

As Dave said but there are two boots, one Silver with the Castle design label and one pale Blue with no Castle design. The original is Dark Blue Castle design. See below

I've just pulled these from storage over the weekend. They have essentially remained unplayed for probably 30+ years. I've attached scans of both for everyone to view. 1. Original The "destined" side has two label tears on it and the flip "Agony" is perfect. This is the way I bought it many years ago. The vinyl is in lovely condition probably Ex+. I note someone on here said original copies always have poor vinyl, but this definitely has excellent shiny vinyl. £80 2. Boot The Silver "look-a-like" boot with Ex+ condition overall. £10 Scans See Below Payment by Paypal F&F or Gift Post UK first £1.50, Recorded £2.50 and Special at £7.50 - Overseas at cost but small packet air £4 or Signed/Airsure £11 (approx. costs) Thanks Andy
